Everything came out better than I expected it to. I want Toby to chime in and check it out since I kept calling him, lol. I think like 3 times today, and several other times the past weeks.

that is absolutely delicious. GREAT work. so fresh, so organized/planned out... and takes up 0 space.

this is the first time on NICO that ive been truly impressed with a DIY audio install from a non-pro. awesome work dude.

What are you using to keep it from moving around?

In the last picture you can see the brackets on the sides. I put one L bracket on the side closest to the tail lights (very tight fit), then on the opposite side I used 2 L brackets, one the same size as the small one and as you cna see in the picture a much larger one. Then on top of all that, or the bottom I guess I sohuld say, I put 3 strips of velcro glued to the carpet just for a tad extra support. It wont go anywhere.

Also for the amp, I didn't want to drill into that hump since the gas tank is there so under the carpet there I glued down a piece of extra MDF board using Heavy Duty Liquid Nails.

So I have been told. Sounds good to me though.

I used these sites to help me:

http://www.lexls.com/tutorials/audio/subbox.html

When you buy a sub they have the recommended volume on the instructions or whatever. Then just make a box out of cardboard to test fit.
I made a total of three before I got the dimensions I wanted. Toby Broadfield hooked it up with all the wires I needed to hook everything up. Give him a call or e-mail.

everything is hooked up and its been playing for a while now no problem.
but some how i manage to blow one of the sub and now i have 1 left so i decide to just make a nice box for a single sub. i have mono amp so its fine.

i got some one working at a piano factory which have alot of wood and i am wondering what kind it is but no one knows

btw do you know the difference between partical boards and fiber boards?

btw i have 12s so i need a much bigger box

Particle board, or particleboard, (called "chipboard" in some countries) is an engineered wood product manufactured from wood particles, such as wood chips, sawmill shavings, or even saw dust, and a synthetic resin or other suitable binder, which is pressed and extruded. Particleboard is a type of fiberboard, a composite material, but it is made up of larger pieces of wood than medium-density fibreboard and hardboard. Medium-density fiberboard (MDF or MDFB) is an engineered wood product formed by breaking down softwood into wood fibers, often in a defibrator, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming panels by applying high temperature and pressure.[1] It is a building material similar in application to plywood but made up of separated fibers, not wood veneers. It is denser than normal particle board.

Basically from what I understand is MDF uses soft wood ground into more fine grains, while particle board has slightly larger "chips"

Lol, yea my uncle actually gave it to my brother. My brother had it as just extra power for his system that cost about $3000 (waste of money in my opinion). Then when he sold the car with all the stuff removed I took it to use for myself.

It also looks like you went with a larger power wire .

By-the-way, it looks really good for your 1st go at it!

Toby

Thx for all the help man. Yea it sounds really good. Definitely all I need.

Nothing on the other side. But I will be relocating the battery there so I can run intercooler piping.

Generally, ported will be louder and a bit boomier, but will not hit as clean. Sealed enclosures are best for a good sound quality setup.

For a first install, that looks beautiful. My first car stereo install didn't look nearly that clean. Heck, my second car wasn't even that clean. I finally got it right on my third try. Nice work!
